Assume that you have 1 mL of a solution of amylase (an enzyme) at a concentration of 15 mg protein/mL. Calculate the volume of d

iluting buffer that you would have to add to 1.0 mL of the amylase stock solution if you wished the final concentration of the solution to be 345 µg protein/mL.

Answer:

42,5 mL

Explanation:

We need to use the serial dilution formula beacuse we start with a stock concentrate solution and we need to prepare a new less concentrated one.

DF=\frac{Vi}{Vf}

<u>DF in the dilution factor, Vi is the initial volume and Vf is the final volume.</u>

The first step is to have the same measurment unit so we need to convert 345 µg to mg.

we know that 1 µg equals 0,001 g, hence:

345 µg = 0,345 mg

now the final volume is 0,345 mg  protein/ mL and the inital volume is 15mg protein/mL, both of them are in the same unit so we can use the formula

DF= \frac{15mg protein/mL}{0.345mg protein/mL}

DF= 43,5 mg protein/ mL

Now since the question said that we already have 1.0mL of the amylase stock solution we need to subtract that 1.0mL to the 43,5 mg protein/mL

43,5mL-1,0mL = 42,5 mL

So, we need 42,5 mL of diluting buffer if we want a final concentration of 345 µg protein/mL (0.345 mg protein/mL)

Be aware of mudflows. the danger from a mudflow increases near stream channels and with prolonged heavy rains. mudflows can move
Anettt [7]

The mudflows are very dangerous and they have a great destructive power. They appear after a heavy rainfall on places that are steep. The mudflows are very fast and sudden occurrences, so usually people are caught unprepared. A mudflow is a mixture of water and lot of ground/mud, and all sorts of debris, which also contributes to it to be more dangerous.

A dodder plant wraps itself around a potato plant. The dodder then uses its root system to obtain water and Nutrients from the p
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: The question is not complete, here are the options.

Which statements best describe this scenario? Check all that apply.

A. The potato plant is parasitic.

B. The dodder plant is parasitic.

C. The potato plant will grow stronger.

D.The potato plant stays alive because of

E. The dodder plant stays alive because of the potato plant.

The correct options are A and E.

Explanation:

This is because dodder plant is a parasitic plants that survive and live on the host plants there by causing harm or destroying the host because it survive on the resources needed for the host survival. Dodder plants twine around the potatoes and obtain nutrients and water from the potatoes through it root system.

Simora [160]

Second-degree burn is the type of burn represented by the formation of the blisters.

Second-degree burn is a burn that affects the epidermis and the superficial part of the dermis layer (skin). Second-degree burn may be caused by sunburn, chemicals, scald injuries, flames or electricity. The burn site may appear blistered, red, wet and shiny, and may be swollen and painful.
